The Detroit Red Wings were an awful team in the years leading up to the selection of Steve Yzerman Fourth Overall in 1983.  We don't think it is hyperbole to state that it was "Stevie Y" who turned around the fortunes of Detroit's member of the Original Six.

Nicklas Lidstrom is, without question, the most outstanding Defenseman in the history of the Detroit Red Wings, and we feel equally confident saying he was the best blueliner of his generation.

Think about this for a second.

Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity. As such, we are very happy to present our pre-2021 revision of our top 50 Baltimore Orioles of all-time.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball we look at the following: 

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the American League. 

3. Playoff accomplishments.

4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

There are no new additions in the Top 50, though there were minor changes through the list, but nothing affecting our top five.  As always, we announce them here.

They are:

1. Cal Ripken Jr.

2. JimPalmer

3. BrooksRobinson

4. George Sisler

5. Eddie Murray

You can find the entire list here.
